About ACRMC
Open for Business
May 1, 2020
Adams County Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce that we are reopening the majority of our services as permitted by the Director of the Ohio Department of Health’s recent order to reopen businesses. We are continuing with several workplace safety standards that have been in place to ensure the safety of our staff and community who seek care with us. Visitor restrictions, screenings and the use of facial coverings for all who enter the facility are just a few of the things in place. We continue to caution those who are at high risk of severe illness from COVID-19 to shelter in place, to the extent possible, except as necessary to seek medical care.
As of May 1, we will resume medically necessary procedures that will allow you to come to the hospital and or one of our three clinics in West Union, Winchester or Georgetown. Procedures that do not require an overnight stay, non-urgent doctor visits, well-care checks, outpatient surgeries, imaging procedures, and diagnostic tests are among the many services we are providing at this time. We will continue to utilize telehealth whenever possible and will be implementing procedures to accommodate elderly and vulnerable patients to ensure their safety. Some procedural changes may be put in place during this time to best accommodate the safety of our community and staff.
We are open for business and we are here for you. Thank you for choosing ACRMC for your healthcare needs!

We pride ourselves in the highest standards of coding ethics.
We code from the documentation provided in the chart, and would never deviate from this standard protocol in any way. During this difficult period of time in our country’s history, we pride ourselves on our honesty and integrity in all things we do within our department. Further, we have not had nor coded any COVID-19 deaths at our facility at this time.
UPDATED HOSPITAL VISITATION POLICY 05/26/2020
Visitor restrictions adjusted to accommodate patients & prevent the spread of COVID-19
Effective immediately, Adams County Regional Medical Center is updating current visitation policies. Our hospital recognizes
the need for a patient to have a support person that not only supports them, but also serves as a liaison to the family and nursing
staff.

- Admitted patients may have one (1) support person / family member accompany them.
- The visitor must remain in the patient’s room and contact nursing staff when leaving.
- Patients are allowed one visitor per day.
- Visitation hours are 9a.m. – 6:30p.m.
- Visitors must be older than 18 years of age.
- Potential visitors should review CDC and state health department guidelines if visiting a patient with advanced
age and chronic medical conditions and avoid visiting hospital if these apply. - Patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 will not be allowed to have a visitor or support person.
Screening & Mask Guidelines
- Visitors must wear a mask at all times.
- Masks must fully cover the nose and mouth.
- Patients and visitors may provide and wear their own mask or will be required to accept and wear the
mask provided by the hospital facility. - If a visitor refuses to wear a mask, visitors may be asked to leave the facility.
- Exceptions may be made on an individual basis for those who are unable to wear a mask due to health
or disability issues. - All visitors will be screened for symptoms or exposure history.
- Visitors will be asked to leave the facility if they have had symptoms in the past 24 hours or exposures in the
last 14 days. - Visitors must wash their hands, or use hand sanitizer, before and after leaving rooms and hospital buildings.
